Strikwerda Investments launches Fidicon: an innovative ecosystem of accounting firms for SMEs
Dijksterhuis, headquartered in Breda, is the first firm to join the platform

‍Blaricum, April 15, 2026 – Strikwerda Investments, a Dutch family office with a long-term vision on value creation, today launches Fidicon: a new platform of accounting firms serving the SME market. Fidicon brings together independent firms around a shared ambition: by leveraging technology and AI to reduce time spent on processing and increase time spent on advisory, the platform aims to build a market-leading group. Dijksterhuis Accountants- en Advieskantoor, an established firm in the Breda region, is the first to join Fidicon.

Technology as a lever for the accountant
The Dutch SME accounting market is facing a fundamental shift. Increasing regulatory pressure, a tight labour market and rising client expectations call for a different way of working. Fidicon addresses this by providing member firms with access to AI-driven process optimisation and automation. Not technology as an end in itself, but as a lever to let accountants do what they do best: advising and supporting their clients. That is the difference between a firm that keeps up and one that looks ahead.

Independent ownership, stronger together
Firms that join Fidicon retain their own brand, team and client relationships. By pooling knowledge, technology and best practices across the network, space is created for innovation, professionalisation and growth. The partnership with Strikwerda Investments offers member firms the ability to invest in their people, technology and service delivery.

Dijksterhuis as the first addition
Dijksterhuis, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Breda, serves a broad base of SME entrepreneurs in the region. Owner René van Dongen has built a solid firm with strong local roots over more than fifteen years. Joining Fidicon gives Dijksterhuis access to technology and economies of scale that further strengthen its client service, while preserving its own identity and culture.

“The SME accounting market is a sector built on trust and lasting client relationships, but also one that is ready for renewal. With Fidicon, we are building an ecosystem in which firms retain their independence while benefiting from the opportunities that AI and automation offer. In Dijksterhuis, we have found a partner that shares this vision: a firm with an excellent reputation, a committed team and the ambition to lead. We look forward to building Fidicon together,” said Niek Cuperus of Strikwerda Investments.
